Father, son and cousin enounter a large hair covered creature while wading through a creek

While wading and fishing with two relatives in summer 1980, the witness reported a strong rotten odor followed by sighting of a tall hairy figure standing in brush on the creek bank. The figure, visible from the waist up, turned its head to look at the group, after which all three left the creek and walked to their car. The father reportedly identified it aloud as Bigfoot.

A quick ask from the person behind the Anomadex: if you allow analytics, Google Analytics shows me which places, phenomena and searches you're most curious about. That tells me which regions and sources to add next and what to make easier to find. It never sees your name or anything you send me, and nothing is set unless you say yes. Privacy
